The immense warm wave of relief when suddenly the idea I'm working on ISN'T a pile of shit and I'm NOT the worst person in the world. Writing is a rollercoaster.

Cruel Universe #10 came out this week, wherein @liamjohnsontype.bsky.social and @felipecunha.bsky.social uses the 3x3 grid for the aspect ratio of the panels and for the pacing. Never seen it done for this reason before.

Paul Starkey, another 2000AD winner, starts a great 3riller (three-riller) this week

Happy Valpurgisnight

My review of this week's 2000AD, in which I heap praise upon @philipreadart.bsky.social

Phil is extremely bloody talented. I'm lucky to be working with him. Thank you to @philipreadart.bsky.social for the shout out!

If you yank hard enough, yes. Easy.

It's out! My 2000AD debut! I can't believe it's been 6 and a half months since I started working on my Talent Search entry to now seeing my art hit the shelves!

Working from home is the worst. How can I concentrate on work when I've just read The Power Fantasy volume 3? @kierongillen.bsky.social is an evil git. Game changing work. Christ.

• Success is separate from satisfaction with the work. Sometimes they line up, but just as often they don't. • Success has more to do with luck than any of us would like to admit, but persistence and being great to work with gives you the most spins at the roulette wheel to see how it goes.

LAST CALL for my free masterclass on Pitching Comics Like a Pro as part of @corkworldbookfest.bsky.social. Pre-booking is essential. Find more information at the link below: buff.ly/WJl7kOV

A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month. Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Massive thanks to 2000AD and to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social for exposing new creators. I've read a review copy and I can confirm that it's brilliant, perfectly straddling horror, sci-fi and comedy. I'm not just saying that because Phil and I are working together for @the77publications.bsky.social!

This is the start of an episode of Goosebumps if I've ever seen one. Whoever he points at is a goner

To grant one a wish, the very stars must avert their gaze. Willing things into existence can fray the tapestry of reality. But if your desire is strong enough maybe you will find him, the Weaver may grant you wish... for a price. (reposts very appreciated💖) #oc #ocart #pixelart #digitalart

Just gonna collect all these Dredd one-pagers here for ease of access

THE FATE OF WESTLIFE from my Patreon where I get up to all sorts of fun. Come on! Raise me up! Help me fly without wings! It’s just a pound a month! Patreon.com/frasergeesin

July solicits are out. Which means I can say that I’m back in EC’s CATACOMB OF TORMENT with #13! Can’t wait to share more details, including the brilliant artist I’m working with. I love this book.

= FRIDAY =

So I was in that Global Comix Discord meeting awhile back where they said, checks notes, we won’t use AI for translating. Well… Sorry to repost a Substack article but here’s the full icky details 👇🏻 leadvc.substack.com/p/1b903618-4...

My copy of Resident Evil Requiem arrived so the fact that I'm doing any drawing at all is an act of pure willpower! Here's my unfinished Resident Evil comic from a while back. I'm going to be redoing this from scratch, ready for Thought Bubble!

Moebius for the Metal Hurlant Calendar 1981. The man was so prolific that you'll never see everything he drew.

Hello #portfolioday , again, I can draw posters, TTRPG art, album covers, personal commissions, etc etc, from early May www.sajanrai.co.uk/portfolio/

The Drama is great, but especially so for people who enjoy Robert Pattinson being a pathetic, neurotic worm for two hours

Roses are red, Nectarines are naked peaches…

Comics artists! You’re all doing this, right?? If you’ve got any work published in something with an ISBN or ISSN, register with this payback scheme and simply receive free money later in the year. It is that simple. Do it! Love you.x

I need to decide what kind of thing I'm going to take to Thought Bubble. I'll probably have prints of this Jennifer's Body piece since it's horror and comics which kind of sums me up.

The Hair Ghost Of Prague taking a little walk in the park

More DC/ Vertigo Necretaceous fan art. The book isn't even out yet, but I have too many ideas for zombie dinos, like it's just untapped fun imho. I will leave it alone at some point, but it truly is a deranged fixation as it stands. #dcnecretaceous #necretaceous #dinosaurs #utahraptor #horror

I am once again asking @kodansha.us to please publish this in English 🙏

The format for this post is so clever. It's a recommendation but also a broadcast of his taste and what he wants to incorporate into his own work. Totally gonna steal this. The only thing I didn't like is that he mentions walking the dog, but I've never seen a photo of his dog!

OLHA O QUE EU TERMINEEEEI!!! Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral ❤️

A guy got to the shop before me and got the last copy of The Power Fantasy volume 3, but I chose not to detonate his mind, as that would not have been ethical.

So excited to reveal to everyone the absolutely incredible 2026 poster created by @mortiscausa.bsky.social 😍 We can't wait to welcome you all back to the DoubleTree this August to celebrate everything sequential and small press!

I just attended a roundtable discussing a potential Basic Income for the Arts scheme for Scotland, jumping off the successful pilot that is now becoming policy in Ireland. I took some notes on the discussion that I think would be interesting to share! 🧵

Still way too many of you following this anti-palestinian fool.
